What is good advice for generating solid leads for a company in its second year of buisness?
I've tried online, door to door, yard signs, word if mouth and exceptional services even an ad in the paper. I supppse the competition is high and the market is hurting now in Connecticut with rising prices and cost of living. I've been extremely slowed down close to dead in getting even leads right now. It simply doesnt make sense. Like my company hit a wall? I offer pressure washing and landscaping services and that of the such. I have good references etc. I heard other companies are suffering to. Idk anyone on this app going through the same? If not what are you doing thats making the difference?
How do I get leads when I move my cleaning business to a new city?
Hey Y'all, I'd like to introduce myself. Hi! I'm Christine owner of a solo house cleaning service. I started my journey in CT and recently moved to Charlotte area. I'm having a hard time starting my services out here and could use some advice on what to do to help promote myself and get the leads going. In CT, I mostly was a word of mouth advertised service and had to do minimal posting on social media, or ads or flyers. Since relocating I've posted on all my platforms, handed out business cards and left flyers. I've even offered free cleaning/ mother's helper services just to show my work and I still can't get any leads. I've gone from having a booked schedule with waiting list to absolutely nothing and money saved is just about gone. Please help, any advice is needed. Thanks y'all... Please help!!How Do You Get More Commercial Cleaning Clients Without Paid Ads?
Hey everyone, I own a small cleaning company doing residential and commercial cleaning plus interior painting. I’m trying to grow the commercial side of my business and wanted to ask: What has worked best for you to get consistent commercial cleaning clients? Have you had better luck with: Facebook groups? Door-to-door networking? Property managers? Realtors? Google reviews/SEO? Cold calls or emails? Jobber campaigns? Referral programs? I’m trying to build long-term contracts and steady monthly income instead of always chasing one-time jobs. I’d appreciate any real advice from people already doing it successfully. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, My name is Brian Che, and I’m excited to join this community. I’m the Managing Member of Alliance Contracting & Logistics, LLC, a veteran-owned small business based in Charlotte, North Carolina.

I’m looking forward to learning from other business owners in this community.

Building a business from the ground up has given me a completely different appreciation for the amount of work, planning, and consistency it takes to operate professionally every single day. Over the past few months, I’ve been focused on building NGP Sanitation with an emphasis on reliability, responsiveness, organization, and long-term relationships throughout the Inland Empire.

How to automatically send recurring invoices to cleaning clients on a monthly payment plan?
Some of my jobs are priced per month, which means the customer will pay the same amount each month. Currently, Jobber does not have the option, like other SaaS, such as Xero, that you can set an invoice to be generated automatically every month. This would be a great feature to reduce my monthly admin time.How do cleaning businesses handle gas blower bans and cover the cost of switching to electric?
Portland started a gas blower ban effective January 1st, 2026. Has anyone experienced similar bans in other cities? How long did it take for business around you to comply? We've an added an additional percentage to any service that require using an electric blower, to cover the higher upfront cost to use. Have you done something similar? Or have you covered the cost in other ways? How did your clients respond?
